Arrival

I
remember that one morning. We were scrambling down the stairs to safety from
the second floor. Any moment the building would have collapsed on us. The
stairs and the railings were shaking wildly; we didn’t know what hit us. I was
the last to leave home on that cold morning. All we knew was how to run by
instinct. For the next few days we slept in other houses of our family. I kept
a glass of water on the table all the time to watch if the water shook. I
stayed up nights watching it. Whenever the water shook a bit we scrambled to
the ground. That was Republic Day in January 2001 when an earthquake hit
Gujarat at 8.00 am. For a whole week we felt the aftershocks and rushed in and
out of our homes. I remember that nightmare. In one particular aftermath over hundred
children were killed under a school building that collapsed in Ahmedabad. Nobody remembers! The epicentre of the
earthquake was Bachau in Kutch. It destroyed everything in that area. Mention
“Mansi towers” in Ahmedabad and people will tell you gruesome stories of
deaths. Years of toil, hardwork and life and savings were destroyed in 10
seconds flat. Over 20000 were instantly killed in that earthquake. I remember
that one morning.

It is
under these circumstances that Narendra
Modi was sent to Gujarat to replace the CM to ensure relief work was
carried out in great speed. It seems Modi was known as a specialist in relief
works and social service. Much of the relief was provided by RSS workers and
private NGOs that did a better job for the poor. The media would have you
believe that this man was sent to turn the earthquake disaster into a “Hindutva laboratory”. Frankly, I had
never heard of Modi even then. We were more bothered about restoring normalcy
to our lives than bothering who the CM was. It was months before the govt
helped in reparations and it only speeded up after Modi became CM. They would
have you believe that the man who turned around Kutch with speedy relief is a
mass-murderer. No bigger lie has ever
been perpetrated in the history of free India. If you visit Kutch today,
you’d be delighted how the houses and homes have been rebuilt and of a better
quality. Hospitals have been restored to a better quality. 8.00 am on May 16
will, hopefully, shake up India again, in a positive manner.

We cannot
bring back the dead. No matter how much
we sympathise and empathise we cannot feel the sorrow of those who lost their
close ones. The Godhra incident and riots of 2002 are now known more than
any other riot that ever happened in India. There isn’t much left to be said.
In politics, surviving is a skill. Modi had that skill despite many wanting him
dead. It is only in December 2002 I first heard the first speeches of Modi.
Anyone who heard him saw a passionate man with extraordinary oratory skills that
connected with people. His burden was not only to prove himself innocent but to
perform. The media ensured he would never be given the benefit of doubt and
therefore the only option left with Modi was performance.

When
Modi was nominated PM the Congress and the media started screaming he had
disrespected LK Advani and the seniors in the party. If you are someone who
respects truth and performance then one has to admire the fact that the BJP
showed the courage to move on and choose a new leader. You cannot think of this
happening in Congress where a fake Gandhi is a permanent leader. Change
matters. Change is inevitable. That BJP showed the courage to move on from
Advani is a fantastic achievement that is under-rated by our media. I started
writing this blog to counter the lies and propaganda of media. It is
unbelievable that the same media is now claiming they created the media hype
around Modi when they actually wanted him dead. I didn’t think when I started
writing that Modi would be a PM candidate or ever be PM. That was hardly my
concern. That a news media could lie so much about one person must come with a
heavy price. The ones who enriched themselves through these lies are now sermonising
on the Modi-miracle. Laughable!

I have
nothing much to say on this extraordinary phenomenon called Modi but pay a
tribute to the dead characters of many of the media crooks:

My words are not meant to imply death of these people. Its the death of their character and conscience. I hope they will realise their lies did not pay. I hope they realise people are not fools. I hope they will concede the arrival of the moment. I hope they have the decency to acknowledge they were wrong. As for me, I just did a job and I can quit in honour. I call it Arrival.

Not a reply to you.. but putting it here to keep it at the top of comments. Many have requested not to quit so this blog will continue after a short break. There will be new directions and a new discourse. To other questions.. I am not joining any media house in MSM or SM and never will. This blog will remain a free voice forever...

THOU SHALT NOT QUIT! We do not see the media thugs changing, not in this life. They will continue to peddle lies and inflict untold misery on India. It is their nature to be evil, just as it is the nature of a scorpion to bite - even if you do good to it. So, Mediacrooks continues to have an important role to play. Jab tak Media rahega, Mediacrooks rahega!

Respect for the real crook that you are sir, that you exposed the crooks in all fake propaganda machinery. A crook can only defeat and expose all other crooks as they say a diamond only cut another diamond. But one diamond is sure we who, but the another diamond is found to be only Glass.

The vision of you has been successful, so whats next Supercrook...

With lots of respect, MediaCrooks aka Ravinar, and wish you continue and inspire many more.

Once again Hats off sir, reminded me of "Men Of Honor" final scene Carl Brashear: Forgive me sir, but to me, the Navy isn't a business. It's an organization of people who represent the finest aspects of our nation. We have many traditions. In my career, I have encountered most of them. Some are good, some not so good. I would, however not be here today were it not for our greatest tradition of all.Captain Hanks: And what would that be, Chief Brashear?"Carl Brashear: " Honor, sir"

I sincerely thank you for your immense contribution to make people aware of what the facts are and how not to believe in MSM, intellectuals and secular. A nation owes lot for this. You really spearheaded the social media onslaught to nullify the evils. A sincere thanks from me, my family and friends who followed you for the best

It takes something extraordinary in a person to get where Modi did, given where he started. During the election campaign we saw grit, hard work and a calm mind work towards the goal. Modi also has the ability to spot and groom talent...as seen from Amit Shah.

Time to rebuild our nation, folks! Acchhe din aa gaye!

Ravinar, one laddoo box in the BJP office is certainly yours...you have told the truth to countless readers. Thanks for that!!!

At some point in 2010, I remember Rahul Gandhi had come to my college in TN. Our class advisor handpicked a few students, made them memorize some questions and ask that to him. At that point, I had literally 0% knowledge in politics of India. I had always known about Modi. My first view of Modi was when he won his second term elections and I was in awe about the wave of people standing in that sun, waiting to see the man they had elected as CM. That was my first shot of politics in television.

But like all uncomfortable Indians, I had been wired to sympathise for 2002 and reject Modi's point of view. Fast forward to 2013, my sister recommended me your blog. She had said these words: "Read this with an open mind. This person is not the usual right-winger. He writes with a lot of facts and logic."

And so, I started to plough through your articles, sometimes spending late nights reading how you had consistently attacked our MSM's hypocrisy. From then on, it changed the way i watched TV. I have to thank you for that. Your blogs have been the source of hope for some days when I had dark news and disappointing days. I don't know who else should take great pride in BJP's victory, but you sir have all the rights for it.

Thank you for this journey that you provided and for having come along with all of us in this victory for the nation.

You have shown what commitment is, what courage of conviction is! You did not do a 'job'. You awakened the basic human in each of your readers - gave them power (with documented data) to question the edifice built for 12 years just to see one person out of Indian politics!!I, like most of your readers and followers, earnestly request you to continue your blog. It will have very essential function to redeem the pledge Narendrabhai has made to the nation.

Living in Chennai, I was boiling milk for my baby and I noticed ripples in the boiling milk. This was when the earthquake had struck. We went out gathering only the baby, came back inside after sometime. We turned on the TV to know about the ghastly earthquake that had struck. It is only due to passion, care, and hard work that Modi was able to carry out the reconstruction after such a massive earthquake in record time.

Our media, as you have right said, will never remember the loss of lives due to natural disasters. Is anyone talking about Uttarakhand, where nature showed its full fury?

They have made the Godhra Riots one mega factory which gave jobs to all those who are really good for nothing, The pseudo-intellectuals who have damaged India! It is sad that these guys are able to write trash and pass off all their personal prejudices as an analysis.

You first tweet of the morning has come true, and I wish India all the very best!

Heartiest compliments to you Ravinar for a great job over all these years. The opening para brought to mind the horrifying disaster that was on our TV screens. I recall the many initiatives that Modi did for the rehabilitation of the victims. Though I came across your blog just a few months ago, I managed to go through the archives with interest. I am a die hard supporter of BJP, voting for it through thick and thin and you accurately represented my disgust and anger at the Fake Gandhis and the machinations of the cabal around them.Finally, I think you should continue because that is the need, a sane voice in the jungle of contradictory and manipulative media. There will be a lot of the hidden stuff to uncover and also to be a corrective influence should the new rulers feel inclined to repeat the mistakes of the past.Absolute power corrupts is the adage, why should BJP be immune from it?Many congratulations to you for your great work.

Exactly as you've mentioned, a Rajdeep column in today's (16 May 14) Deccan Herald (A paper with its circulation mainly in Bangalore) seeks to claim credit for a Modi Victory becaues as per him, the media played a major role in projecting Mr. Modi. Such a disgusting, congenital liar.

Ravi, Excellent job byou , I may sound pessimistic , but I really don't think Modi or any one else can do a damn because our whole society has become so much corrupt . every walk of life you find corruption and infact a large large number of people and their families are surviving on corruption only. and sorry to say that well off people are indulging in corruption to get "more "... are they going to change just like that ?

Ravinar Sir,this victory has been possible because of the untiring work nationalists like you have taken through all these years facing great odds.You are as much of a Swami as Shri Modi ji is.Take a bow Sir and Jai Hind !

Well, the brains who recognized and sent Modi to handle things in 2001 relief efforts should be applauded. Modi is a politician and there is no arrival/departure business. PM giri is not same as CM giri when he was lording over a microcosm of India aka Gujarat. The character and the true grit will be revealed after he sits in the PM chair. I always believed that the chair picks who should sit in it. Hope the good and wise guide PM Modi in the days ahead and may he continue to exhibit the strength of his character.

Sir, I don't how many people have become more politically intelligent after started reading you. I'm one for sure. I would be even more happy if NaMo recognizes MC. I (we) followers of MC know how much is the contribution of MC for todays feat. Oh! but wonder called NaMo, OMG, I believe now in 'Yadha Yadha Hi Dharmasya........."

While readin this blog, I had goosebumps. Thanks for such a wonderful blog. While I'm taking twitter sabbatical from day-after for almost 2 years, I will continue reading MC. Thank you sir. Respect!!

Bravo RaviNar! Your blog means a lot to those in search of the truth, thank you for constantly keeping us informed and aware. India has won today and MediaCrooks has played a massive role in this victory.

Ravinar. Great post as usual. Congratulations to you for singlehandedly educating and bringing awareness about NaMo. Today is my happiest day as naMo is storming parliamnent with comfortable majority on his own. I am still keeping my fingers crossed whether BJP will get 307 on its own as per my assessment earlier.

These crooks in media might change color to suite the current situation. Some may even stop their current practices in right earnest but they will be replaced by new entrants. Some may find new more devious ways to harm our country.

We need you to continue to keep vigil and warn us against such deceitful trickery.

I’m not trying to absolve my responsibility but transferring my burden on you, it’s just that your blog has been very instrumental in giving me the correct perception of the corrupt practices of the main stream media.

Deeply indebted to you for your great work and sincerely request you to please continue the wonderful work.

YOu can not quit.. Where will people go to read the truth? The war for truth never ends. So long as the crooked-media is there, your war (and our's too) does not end, and can not end. I dont think the crooked-media wont stop their ugly tricks now or ever.

The media ensured he would never be given the benefit of doubt and therefore the only option left with Modi was performance:-As Rajdeep Sardesai was saying Modi is indebted to the media, thats true but the otherway. People saw and realized the lies the media was trying to inject and gave back a huge slap.As usual they are shamelesss and changed the versions after 8AM 16th may 2014.

I came across to your blog 2 years back, you were/are the saving grace for me from MSM morons. I'm at loss of adjectives to praise your contributions for NaMo's victory. God bless you man, you made my every day for the past two years or so.

Hats off to Ravinaar Blog Mediacrooks --- but now the Phase II begins as media will be asking more questions from the ruling elite -- why this not ?... what about that?... How about that?... How can you? ... then there will be many hoping miracle for Congotri ... remembering happy old days under Congruption... now is the stage set up to euthanize Congress and remove MSM as the 4th estate -- what purpose do they serve other than embezzling public money?

I have supported Modi just because, I did not want to tell my kids as my father who saw British Regime used to say "British Governance was very good, atleast there was no corrruption". I wanted to see some one from my own brotherhood took my Country beyond the limits towards the progress, so that I can give a bright, protected and corruption free country to my Kids. Jai Hind. thanks MediaCrooks for helping us to make our dreams true.

Your contribution in clearing up many of the misconceptions that I had about the media is priceless...you exposed each one of them very efficiently. This to me is a fine example of upholding dharma...dharmo rakshati rakhshitaha...you have arrived, we have arrived and India has arrived...the days ahead are going to be days of hope and prosperity. Thank you.

feeling a sense of satisfaction that my country bestows jewels like RAVINAR. was completely hooked from the day i read the first post of media crooks. I hope you will carry on and just like somone said" will be amongst the conscience keepers of BJP or Mr. Narender Modi"

RSD has written an article in HT, whom Modi should thank. It is still full of sarcasm rather than admission. Well Thanks goes to Crores of underestimated Indians whom English Language media and so called intellectual coterie considers morons. People of India have turned table on those intelligent masturbators. Thank you Ravinar. Is there any newspaper publishing MC articles? Even the english language print media thinks they are still Brits (meaning anti-national).

I relived that fateful day again for some time now...A BIG THANK YOU. And also for all the tremendous work you have done thus far and also having enlightened us. Wish you & family all the very best in future.

"FEAR" & "doubt" is the poison injected into the minds of minorities - they are lying low, as the hurricane passes over them. But the quantum of solace will also occur, which they don'te know. Fear of LAW must be on the minds of every citizen BUT fear of NAMO and his brigade????? This is what MSM will peddle again with some small riots and disturbances AND some policy changes like ... conversion!!!! Acche Din Ane Wale Hain.

Happy that BJP won 272 on its own strength and is ow looking forward for a absolute majority. Now to think about what Pappu will do sitting in opposition. he will keep silent like he did for the past 10 years ? My heartiest congratulations to Narendra bhai and wish him to work towards annihilation of Khagress forever.

Ravinar.. thanks for ur all post which has enlighten people like us and gave right way to visualize and analyze the things. U did ur job in perfect manner.And One more thing.. there is a lot of silent visitor which appreciate ur job. Bow to you.ThanksShashi Ranjan

Agree with you. heaved a sigh of relief at the results. but there is a long long journey ahead. This is the first obstacle , decisively overcome by Narendra Modi. May God Bless Bharatmata and help it recover its past glory and reclaim the pedestal it deserves .

@Ravinar,the shameless MSM will not accept defeat neither will they admit their mistake, whilst this victory does honor you - the crooks of media need to be continuously exposed till the day these set of individuals are replaced by men and women of better competence and integrity and india sees a more credible public discourse . So no quitting before that.

Thanks Ravinar. I classify you as a freedom fighter who contributed immensely in the 2nd freedom movement. India is now a real independent nation. Veer Savarkar, Sardar Patel, Netaji Subhas, Veer Bhagat Singh and all the other revered freedom fighters' souls are showering their blessings.

ravi i would like to thank you, i was a congi sympathizer. I was brain washed by the media in to thinking that BJP was right extremist, and modi was a criminal. It was only after i stumbled on your blog that changed my view of modi and the media forever. THank you mr. Ravi. I voted for modi and i am glad he won with a majority.

Ravinar, thank you so very much. I was never in habit of watching TV, and for past decade+ have been living out of India, but your blog taught me and several others what ONE MAN can do with conviction, perseverance and a great heart.

I am no-one to ask you to not go, though it is very sad if you do. If you would reconsider though, how many petitions would you need us to secure to reconsider your decision?

Hi Ravinar, I have read all you articles and there were times that I read your blog first time in the morning. I follow only you on Twitter and your twitter page is always open on in my laptop. This is the first time I am writing to you just because, I thought my words cannot express what you have done. You have changed the way I look not only at MSM but also at others who are hypocrites and just AK type. Hats off to all of your posts and your decision to quit at the right time. Mind you, not many can call it off at the right time and it requires real guts (remember Sachin!). May god be with you and give you lots of courage to rip off peoples masks and also I pray that you also do not change your path in coming years. Eagerly awaiting your new avatar.

Whole twitter generation will remember this election and your contribution to Modi's win. Your efforts didnt go in vain and the dirty tricks of MSM didnt work. Your blogs have changed my views about MSM including news papers and i think lot of others who were your readers will think same. Keep up the good work for you are blessed with sharp insight and audacity and separate the wheat from chaff.

Like the brick which remains hidden under a big building, U Ravinarji will be the rock beneath NEW INDIA. Take a bow Sir, fellow Indians like me will remain forever indebted to you for opening our eyes.........Now its time for all of us to emulate Modiji & if each of us attains even 10% of the kind of life he lives our country will be transformed. Vande Mataram!!!!!

its important now, people of india, all section of society need to ensure development through positive involvement with Modi. Greate hero is assigned for new Job by People & Media should respect. If they continue venom & biases, Media will be a next target of People of India.

Thank you Ravi for all the posts which were entertaining, thoughtful and also very very informative. Will miss you, if you stop blogging. come back strongly. I would suggest you to write about movies, especially english :-) or music :-) or both :-)

Dude, your's was one blog, which I have read regularly over the past few years. It takes enormous amounts of guts and brain to have taken on the corrupt media.Your article definitely bought out the clear perception of the indian media. I am short of words to express my gratitude and humble regards to your achievements and contributions.Mediacrooks ROCKS!!!

I was introduced to mediacrooks by a friend after delhi election. I supported AAP and was not convinced with their decision to take support of congress and form a government.

After I started reading your articles and following you on twitter, things started getting clear step by step.

When one person was fighting battle on ground, doing rallies, travelling 3-4 cities a day, you were the one giving us a hope that it is possible. Without you being here and writing, I would not have believed that Modi could get 300+ seats.

Though we never met (and would probably never) in personnel, but I felt that we were meeting twice a week 'here' and daily on twitter.

Thanks for taking up courage to start this blog and maintaining it during highs and lows, ups and downs. I request you to continue with the same passion; not about only crooks in the media; but this time of the achievements of the Modi Govt.

We, as citizen of India deserve 'at least' 10 years of Modi govt to clean up the dirt and back on development track. Please be here to convey us the truth, to give us hopes.

I have been following your blog for more than a year & half & on twitter (@vagabondjedi ). Hope you keep the www.mediacrooks.com active in future. I wish to read the posts again & again. They are classics,educative....They are a good example of "How to write". I will be sending you an email. I will be honoured to get a reply from you.Thank you for being there to educate us.Wishing you & your little daughter (must have grown up now) & all the family all the BEST in life.Looking forward & waiting for your new "Avatar" ASAP au revoir

take a bow Sir.. checking mediacrooks page every morning to find a new blog became a routine since the last two years.I can't describe the happiness when i find a new blog on your page. I so wish you keep writing more. That said, you have changed mine and many others views about our Media. Congratulations! :-)

Hi Ravinar, You writings have really opened my eyes and I am sure of many others to see the real face of MSM. I believe the way you have exposed the MSM will stay with your followers for ever and if the MSM does not change its way, they will continue to see the nefarious design of MSM and will expose them to the rest of the world thru social media. I once again congratulate you for such a wonderful initiative and eagerly await for your next avatar

I Bow to you Ravinar. You did a very commendable job and took on the MSM alone and showed us the truth, the other side of the story. I got to know about your blog of late from my brother and started following you passionately.

Now that you have arrived, where do we look for the daily stuff of stories from the other side?? We really miss the stuff from you.

Hi Ravinar, at first instance your hint of calling a day does take the charm out. But I do hope you are getting into the next level of media watching. Wild Guess: I hope you have not made BAKRA (which you usually do in twitter) by hinting on shutters down for MCJai Hind - Kartik Athreya

Dear Ravinar, is it time for you to say goodbye? Take a HUG from me...your clarity in writing has been amazing and thanks for educating us thru your blogs...I hope you come in another avatar and continue to serve this Great Nation! Waiting for that avatar...Thank You..Take a BOW...!

Please don't quit.. My day usually starts by reading your blog. I visit it atleast once a day and have been an avid follower of your blog for the past 2 years. I stumbled upon this accidentally and then started talking about this to my friends.

I wish you continue to write about the MSM post congi rule. They must already be running with their tails between their legs.

In 2008 I followed housingpanic blog after the economic crash, it reached a crescendo when Obama won. When I started following mediacrooks in 2013 I got the same feeling , great that you are signing out on a high note. Kudos for all the hard work, hope to see you in your new avatar.

Arrival.....Indeed it is and....I wish to stay here in... on the main stage forever....I also sincerely believe that corrupt media houses...(the so called "news traders" "presstitutes") should be sent to jail.I'm an ardent Modi fan (used to be an active member from HCU, ABVP unit) and I wish India would be a better country without these news traders (I'm telling this ... not because of my inherent bias... but because I'm an Indian first )MODI SHOULD PUNISH THESE GUYS.

Hi Ravi, talking about quitting. No man, continue this, and launch a TV network wherein you should anchor many a programme. I should not miss your writings. So long there is breath and strength to move your limbs, you should not stop.

Advani, MM Joshi and few such other characters are spent forces. They should vacate their place from the BJP on their own.

We look forward to having a clean Govt which should address itself to all issues which are of concern to everyone. India should generate growth in all aspects, spread literacy, remove social inequalities as far as possible and teach Indians as to how to keep their head high with self pride, and etc etc.

I am sure you will be there in one capacity or the other. We need you. You are great.It is without an iota of jack Daniel. Hahaha!!!. An old blogger in msn.com. emmaarcee.

@mediacrooks: I have read all your blogs but have never commented. Not voting, I don't like shouting online. But since this is your last post, I just want to say thank you for reality checks and your wonderful writing skills. I agree that brand mediacrooks must be given rest. You did the right thing, say what may, the posts were all about bringing out negativity in the media. It must be very difficult for yourself to keep looking for negativity all the time. In that sense, yes mediacrooks must be rested. But I sincerely hope you will start writing articles with positive outlook and inspire generations to come. There is a lot more work to be done on the education (esp Indian history) sector.

You've done millions of Indians a favour, informing them about corruption by news media. I too have been influenced a lot. Although I was no fan of NDTV and IBN group, my suspicions were confirmed, and I found real reason to denounce them. Your blog changed my opinion about Hindustan Times, and eventually, even the much-revered The Hindu. I have been trying hard to convince my family and friends against following mainstream media channels seriously, and although it's still tough, they're waking up to it.

Let's just hope this isn't the last of the Mediacrooks series. Modi winning the elections is just half the battle. These crooks will still keep up with their dirty tricks. We have exposed them. The war will truly be won once and for all when all the vile and vicious elements in the news media are purged completely. The danger is still out there in the media, and needs to be taken out once and for all.

Dear Ravi,You are a living example of a Karma Yogi. This blogs is testimony to nishkamya Karma. This is no flattery. You definitely have changed the way we consume news and Identifying the News Traders. Let us hope that the MSM learns there lesson at least now. Thanks a Ton.

I watch crime patrol earnestly. Its the only TV program I watch on my laptop with my wife here in Sydney. We havent bought a TV purposely and dont watch any other TV shows. Crime Patrol I feel is so natural and so very close to heart of India and the crimes that plague us. It is so earthly and beautifully made. The other thing I love doing on the internet is read Mediacrooks religiously. So if I go by the above comments I am actually subscribing to the brainchild of the Iyer family. Hats off to you guys. This blog should obviously continue as even after Modi becomes the PM, our job of helping this nation by exposing the media only intensifies further.

My brother recommend 'Mediacrooks' to me to know the true colours of media channels,especially,engilsh media. Since then I have not missed a single article of yours. While reading your articles,sometime I became emotional thinking what would be the future of Indians/India if these 'mediacrooks' had the last laugh.Fortunately,majority of Indians have chosen the right person at the right time. One more tenure of UPA-III would have definitely destroyed India. You have enlightened us all these days through your dignified and mature articles. Every day I was watching these Crooks without knowing their true intentions.Thanks a lot for exposing the darker sides of these crooks.. At the same time,I request you to continue writing as their is every danger of 'Mediacrooks' trying to tarnish Modi Govt. day in & day out. I believe BJP is the only party which has internal democracy.Modi is a shining example of this. A chaiwalla becoming the PRIME MINISTER of this Great Nation. No other party could dare dream of it.Leave alone CONgress! Thanks once again,please donot call it quits!

Dear Ravinar, Thanks much and Your Mission is Accomplished, your contribution is extraordinary. Since i got to know about your blog, have been addicted every week, if i don't read it, i felt like something i missed...You have done a wonderful job and made us aware so many things which #NewsTraders were hiding to show in public, i have been spreading your analysis to my friends and colleagues to make them aware of enemies within inside our country.If you called your day, hats off to you, but i appreciate and request you should continue..

MediaCrooks are you going to quit away just like Kejriwal or show some spine and complete the job by continuing this movement. Involve more people I am sure you will find someone trustworthy to continue this legacy.

Dear Brother Ravinar ,I am reading your each blogs since 5 months after being active on twitter.i must say you are wonderful person and writer.you did a herculious job by exposing MSM ,you are voice of people like us.keep writing like this.this country still needs your blogs.my best wishes and tons of thanks:)

Ravinar... Few months ago I didn't even know someone like you existed and didn't have a twitter account. One of my colleagues who was active on twitter told about you whenever we had discussions about politics during our lunch breaks in office. My knowledge about politics was only from Hindu and News channels ..ndtv..CNN inn. That was when my friend bought the book written by you and gave it to me.He just told me to read that with open mind. After that I realised what sort of hypocrites MSM were. The best thing about your book "social media as watchdog" was you had the comments of TV journalists so organized that nobody can have a second thought. Hats off to you. Educated people like me could still have a wrong opinion or rather an opinion influnenced by MSM if it wasn't for people like you. Thanks again for your blog and really awesome articles.

Who is this Owassi from Hyderabad? An SOB? Meaning son of the blessed!!!!In today‘s evening ‘Times Now’ programme (2228 hrs), this fellow airs out fanatic views. The problems of India emanate from the utterances of such blessed few who have no sense to differentiate between the right and wrong?In a country cursed with too much of population, we have to be patient with the kind of lunatics like owassis who have the guarantee of the Constitution to air out filth, and it becomes stronger when they belong to the community of Kurshid who has no knowledge of meanings of words that are imported in our day today life and added to the dictionary.A man who has no source of knowledge (according to me) was the Minister of external Affairs of the country, for he probably knew not the spelling of his Ministry. No doubt, he has to ask for a replacement to the word 'Impotent'. If one were to be potent enough in politics, one would have glorified oneself to the lime light in one way or the other like the Tiwari" or the lals of Moti!!.If low libido were his problem in his whole personality even in the context of his much taunted rhetoric, Allah the Great should have harnessed his short comings. Libido is different and knowledge is different. I would never go to a TV programme and ask the public to suggest a replacement word. I nauseate listening to such utterences of characters that are imposed on us Indians. You may judge Owassis.

One word sums up your courage dear friend and I.e., \RESPECT/. You have that from me. You definitely said it right, you have arrived and I call it the beginning. It is people like you and me who need to steer BJP or Modiji on track if we find them doing wrong. Hence, please dont cap that pen of yours and let the ink dry. We continue to have a job called THE COMMON MAN.

Old habits die hard and I'm sure u wont b able to sit quite by denouncing this super heroic job of slamming the crooks of the media! See u soon coming back! City of Gotham needs u anyway at all times! Both good n bad...

One thing wonders me, All ur followers tell dat they had thier epiphanous moment only after stumbling upon ur blogs. And they are all educateds. But Modi wave usually starts from a country liquor shop of very remote villages of our country where everyone is uneducateds to the core. What do you think is the reason for this?

these are not dead characters. In fact they deserve some kind of Memorial.No! Not for misleading the nation. But for the great disservice they did to their master, i.e. the INC in two ways.1. Giving hugeeeeee coverage to Modi (as Modi himself indicated in Ahemadabad speech today, though in different perspective)2. They had spent huge energies to obscure truth from general public. Whereas they actually ended up obscuring the ground reality from ruling establishment.

Words cant describe my thanks for you for educating our eyes. I have been a regular reader of your blog for past three years, and each post has been superlative. Hope you publish all your blogs in a book. Respects and Kudos for the great service.

You have really enlightened a generation and changed the way people 'consumed the news'. Please don't call it a day. PLease don't quit!Thanks for all the brilliant writing and the tireless effort you have put in through all these years...Sincere Regards!

Ravinar,Its been a great journey of a nation's discourse , the discourse from lies,deceit and a sense of defeat to a truth, hope and a sense of can do attitude.

We all ask you to not quit but then its your decision. We thought you will be there blogging when you hit the 10 million viewership that we always see at the side of this blog's site. Anyway, All the best in your future endeavors. The blog is an example of Good journalism that kids in future will learn from.

last night ended with tears in my eyes reading your tweets about Gujarat earthquake.The morning started with hope which turned into joy. on this joyful day the only sad news and i say very very sad news is your announcement of closing this blog. I started reading your blog around two years back and was hooked to it ever since. everyday the first thing on computer was to check if there is some new post. and each post was razor edge sharp and enlightening. I salute your fighter spirit, your courage and conviction. we love this anonymous person. and hope to meet him soon in a new avatar. bless you.

Thank You Sir, for showing us the truth of Indian media, hope you continue to write & be in the middle of things always, the MSM can no longer fool us and they know that very well, the Social Media is watching them, and it has been primarily because of your initiatives & guidance........Thank You, kindly do let us know if you want us to be of any help in any ways.

Yes, The Hall of Shame is well done!After 1998, we had to build a platform for students then in Bangalore! We faced Romila Thappar, Siddarth Varadharajan, Yogendra Yadav (who was on sabbatical). Please include Ram Guha too and also the above buggers in the Hall of Media Shame!

Propaganda is difficult to hide now with social media so active. It is like hiding elephant in a hut. Democracy has become more interesting now. Without social media it would have taken longer for India to give comprehensive victory to Modi or defeat pet Congress so badly.

Our real work has just staryed ravinar.getting to pm seat is not our aim. Start rebuilding our nation is. In that mammoth task, it is inebitabnle that media c rooks will be biggest stumblng blocks with their usual shenanigans andyou must be jere to expose them and back our beloved leader. Common ravinar, our task has just started.

I dont know how serious you are about quitting. If you are dead serious... Please dont.

Now need of the hour is, its even more necesaary to keep watch. Previously agenda was known, lies peddled were old. In course of time truth was replenished by many like you on the sm and were on public domain.

Heard that there is already a line up of media morons and pseudo intellectuals claiming as advisors and lobbying for the job. You know better than us.

Like every IT guy we were not political. But when scams were out and we saw modi as hope. Most of ppl here supported modi and lateraybe bjp as he was part of it.

If u look at it this way bjp litrelaly slept with congress for nearly 9 years . elite advani club. like i tweeted once .. again thanks for making all of us reaerachers, political pundits and maybe a writer.

Come on Ravinar, dont quit. If you do, where will be discuss articles like --FP Politics " Why Shashi Tharoor’s survival of the Modi wave is a big deal", Timesofindia.com headline on the lines of Jaitley loses inspite of Modi wave. etc. etc.

Ever since i have followed u on twitter..i got to know real picture of News traders.. I will always remeber your twits.. it gave me much needed smile.. Hope you will carry on Mediacrooks brand apart from new one..

Congratulations Ravinar, on your tireless battle against the crookedness of the MSM. You were directly responsible for taking off the blinkers off many eyes! We hope, as you to that the MSM will have learned their lessons and will introspect a little and work towards being the 4th Pillar of Democracy they should have been. We hope to hear from you in some form or the other. Thanks a ton again.

Congratulations Mediacrooks - The 21st Century Patriot !!! You are truly a legend in the world of blogging. All the best for your future avatar. It will surely be difficult to get off the addiction of reading your blogs.

You have been giving the finest possible words to the thoughts of millions of those who were being compelled to watch the crooks in MSM day after day,night after night. Many people would have felt throwing stones at their own TV sets when blatant lies were peddled by these crooks on prime time TV. If you are discontinuing the blog, there will be a vacuum felt at 5.05AM of each morning. There is every possibility(actually it has started even before swearing in of NAMO) to denigrate the new government in every possible manner(one print media group from south known for its deep prejudices is exulting that Obama has not yet congratulated NAMO!.www.Mediacrooks.com is still very much relevant.. So take a well deserved break and come back as soon as possible.

Like many people, I was also worried that Congress may alter the result by manipulating the EVMs. It is apparent that the Congress was too scared to touch the EVMs in view of the Tsunami-like Modi wave. In spite of all what has happened, the first thing what the new government has to do is to abolish the EVMs altogether, so that in future no party will have a chance of altering the vote.Another thing to be said in the EVM context is that the BJP as a party is complacent on many issues and is not aggressive and evil (I am not suggesting evil ways to the BJP) as the Congress party. They had all the time to force the government to do away with EVMs but they have failed. Maybe like many of us Indians, they too have succumbed to the Karmic theory.Never again another party will be in a position to change the constitution, as is possible for the NDA dispensation now. They have nearly two-thirds majority in the parliament and they can attempt some changes in the constitution, which are badly needed. It goes without saying that they have to be very very cautious and involve as many parties as possible in the deliberations. At least for some time, we will not be burdened with the vote bank politics.

I am being itching as to whether you got a job with the new "era" govt. to work on similar lines ( .. something like Phase-II) but now from inside, as NAMO & team may also have noticed your SM presence. Best of luck !!! then ,,,,, but then also keep us posted. If you are on such a job then we'll get the world media view on India - biases and misreporting etc., then probably the job will be more stringent. Just thinking .... anyway ...All the best...

doooood, you are quittng when Modi / BJP need you the most !!! Media lies about them will only grow. Their spin and lies will be under the garb of "duty of being a watchdog"You are one of the first persons i followed on twitter and its been a pleasure

When Modi went to see his mother just watch those scenes - see both of them sitting in a white plastic chair- the dedication , achievement , hard work , corruption free, - it's all can be seen in the plastic chair

Ravinar, i do not know how seriously you will go in my comments but you say "arrival" with "immediate quit" do not really resemble with the time of this article. As you are well aware that you have owed to bring all culprits to justice . Its just beginning only and you are wiping hands. Think if NaMo will do the same what will be its effect. We all count on you so much that without you the task in no task for all of us . I know i am very emotional n my eyes srheding tears in the scene of.loosing very beloved.

You got your logic always in right place and my hearty thanks to your efforts in exposing MSM in India. You people contributed a lot for this good change in India now.BTW I disagree with your statement "Its the death of their character and conscience.".My question - do these people have character and conscience ever?I am not hopeful about this. :)

you have done your job soo perfectly that #paidjournos and #newstraders are now become mortal, their mask is taken out, by exposing them you have shown the light of truth, many like us used that to counter sickular LIES, now these collective efforts, for a better India bearing fruits, what all i can say is #respect and #salute Shri Ravinar ji!!

Thanks and Congratulations for bringing back Idea of India(Vande matharam , which i used sing everyday in my school day), by exposing MSM and fake seculars. I would like to say , whether you like or not, your are one of architect of Idea of new India along with Modi/BJP.

Thank you for all that you have done! Wish you would continue to at least occasionally come back to give us the "state of the media" address. You walking back into the shadows after this selfless war.. reminds me of batman :) -MR

Ravi, you were our reassuring voice in this period of darkness in which lies were being perpetrated with such high intensity. You alone held the candle of hope for people like us for whom it seemed like nothing is going to work, no matter how right it was. The weight of the evil was so prepondering. Now I see the tones change - Barkha, RS, SG, Rahul Kanwal and the likes. I wish them good sense......Again thanking you from the bottom of heart. May you have a long life continue to write for us

Congrats MC.... May be it is not needed for us to have you here at this point of time. And we are able to read the minds of the journalist. They are finally so happy that Mr. Modi is been elected and which we are not able to digest. Still I hope we will come back to you somewhere somehow.

You must've heard of 'Nindak Niyare Raakhiye'.Please continue your journey as a constructive critic of the next Govt. and obviously the MSM too.We won't get many chances like this, lets make the most of it. Once India gets a hang of governance, it would take less pain in making ourselves choose better leaders.
